On June 3rd I whipped up this little top for my daughter. She’s wearing a white tank top because I won’t let her wear a shirt like that by itself. I think it came out quite cute.

She wanted something of a bustier, which is way too old for her, so I settled on a simple formal gown style bodice. Sort of that bustier shape but with some modesty and age appropriateness.

The only way I would allow her to wear an open back top was if she wore a tank top underneath. I think the contrast of the red ribbon against the white tank top and red shorts made it really stand out. I like it.
